Defense Logistics Agency Procurements from Federal Prison Industries, Inc.

Abstract

The overall objective of the audit was to assess whether DoD procedures ensured that Federal Prison Industries, Inc. supplies were of appropriate "quality character and suitability" and were purchased at "not to exceed current market prices" as required by law. We also determined whether contracting officials were requesting waivers of the mandatory requirement to purchase from Federal Prison Industries, Inc. when appropriate. We did not review Federal Prison Industries, Inc. services because they are not a mandatory source for the Federal Government and they must compete with the commercial sector for customer sales.
